E&C EC-319 Vietnam M16A1 AEG with E-Shooter Kestrel Basic ETU

The E&C EC-319 is a full metal M16A1 AEG built for Vietnam-era loadouts, with the classic triangular handguard and full-length stock. The 2025 version adds an E-Shooter Kestrel Basic ETU and a quick-change V2 gearbox, and the stock takes up to an 11.1v LiPo. Supplied with one high-capacity magazine.

Full metal body

The upper and lower receivers are metal, giving the EC-319 a solid feel and a weight close to the rifle it replicates. The long barrel and classic A1 profile make it a natural choice for Vietnam-era impressions and historical games.

Reinforced QD gearbox

Inside is a reinforced Version 2 (V2) gearbox with 8mm bearings, metal gears and a quick-change spring with a steel guide. The spring can be changed without opening the gearbox, so replacing it when it eventually wears is quick and simple.

E-Shooter Kestrel Basic ETU

The factory-fitted Kestrel Basic ETU takes the electrical load off the trigger contacts, giving a faster, crisper trigger response whilst protecting the contacts from wear. It also offers adjustable pre-cocking and active braking for a sharper semi-auto shot.

Large battery space

The full-size M16A1 stock houses the battery, with far more room than a typical M4 buffer tube. This allows a larger stick or crane-style LiPo to be fitted, giving longer run times between charges and zero-fuss over which batteries will fit.

The EC-319 is a modern airsoft AEG in a classic coat, making it fit for casual players whilst remaining stylistically accurate for reenactment players building a Vietnam loadout, as well as collectors who want a well-priced metal M16A1. Its long inner barrel and roomy stock also make it a practical woodland rifle, capable of intercepting enemy players at short-to-medium ranges. To complete your setup, take a look at our 11.1v LiPo batteries, AEG mid and low cap magazines and slings.
